Social network Hi5, with a large following in Latin America, today launched Hi5 mobile, the mobile version of their site. The San Francisco-based social network launched its mobile version in 26 different languages today, some of which were translated by its own users, according to The Social.
The decision to go mobile seems like a smart decision: in Latin America, owning a mobile device is more common than owning a PC. In that same line of thinking, while Facebook has optimized versions to serve as a supplement to the site for iPhone and Blackberry, Hi5’s iPhone/Blackberry versions are meant to replace the online website. Speed and reliability will come into play here later, but Hi5 is certainly off to a good start.
